For the sixth year running, CEDIA trade supplier FS Cables will return to Sandown Park for the Essential Install Live exhibition. Located on Stand 25, the FS team will be available to chat about your home automation & building control cabling requirements. You can also find out more about the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and how it will affect you.

What is CPR?
The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) has been around for many years. CPR covers the fire performance and other aspects of various products used in construction.
The idea is that people involved in the design and construction of buildings will be able to make more informed decisions about the potential spread of fire of the products they choose. Cables are the latest products to be regulated this way.
